Rivalries & Top Games to Attend

Mavericks vs Spurs

Rival Team: San Antonio Spurs

The Mavericks-Spurs rivalry dates back to 1980 when the Mavericks joined the league. The rivalry has grown more heated since the 2000s when the Mavs and Spurs would regularly meet in the playoffs. The first playoff series between these two Texas-based teams took place in 2001 when the Spurs beat the Mavs four games to one. Perhaps the biggest series between the Mavs and Spurs occurred in 2006 when the Mavericks defeated the Spurs four games to three to advance to the Western Conference Finals. If you want to attend some of the best games of the season, then be sure to be in attendance when the Mavs take on the Spurs.
